I never had an super high blood pressure, even at my heaviest 450+lbs I was at about 130-140 maybe maximum 150 on a bad day but now although I am still quite fat (320lbs) my blood pressure is barely above 100...
Last three days it goes from 96-98 the high one and about 55 the low one.
Of course I am dizzy during the day, I try to drink Water as much as possible but I do usually the 2l minimum I cannot say my diet is salt free and it’s getting me a bit worried saying if it is already that low how will it be when I get to 250lbs for example?
I will see my endocrinologist next week and I have an appointment with my surgeon at the end of the month, but until then I seek your wisdom :)

Mine hasn't been that low, which sounds too low, but mine definitely got lower as I started losing weight and I had to quit taking my blood pressure medicine and my surgeon also said to add some salt into my diet.

Mine has been running low also. I'm 2 1/2 post. I've stopped taking my blood pressure meds for now. I'm keeping records of it until I go to my regular doctor in a few weeks. I go to my surgeon this coming week. I go back to work then too so it may change.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
